Default Police release pictures of cyclist that attacked elderly pedestrian


AN IMAGE has been released of a cyclist who attacked an elderly man,
leaving him with a fractured pelvis. He is white, 6ft 2in and about 40.


He is of athletic build and was wearing a cycle helmet, light coloured
clothing, including shorts and a cap, blue wrap-around sunglasses, and
black fingerless gloves.


He was on a mountain bike with wide tyres.

The 74-year-old was walking his dog on a narrow footpath at the end of
Honeysuckle Lane in Worthing at about 5pm on Monday when the incident
happened.

He was attacked by a man speeding past him on his bicycle.

The pensioner had spoken to the cyclist before the attack about his speed.

The elderly man was taken to Worthing Hospital by his family and is
still receiving treatment for major bruising to his face and left ribs,
and a fractured pelvis.

Investigator Lucy Hailes said: “This was a nasty incident which left the
victim with serious injuries.

“We published a photo of the cyclist on Wednesday, but this latest image
taken nearby soon afterwards is clearer and we hope someone will
recognise him.

“Our enquiries are continuing and if you saw what happened or can help
us to identify the cyclist, please contact us online or by calling 101,
quoting serial 490 of 18/06.
